My Space-Time System

After the meeting was over, major Reeves wasted no time forwarding the message to Darius, who forwarded it to prince Bryon.

A meeting among the higher-ups was called, and after half an hour of planning, they came to a conclusion to take the fight to the beasts rather than sitting around and waiting.

The strike force was to consist of all special ops units and the 4 major generals on the wall. The ash corps wanted to ensure the mission would be successful even if an emperor beast was in the mines.

The only problem with this plan was that the absence of 4 peak demigods at the gates of the city would reduce the defensive capabilities of the wall.

So the ash corps higher-ups could only hope that beasts didn't attack in their absence, and even if they did, they hoped that it was what the normal units could handle.

…

The meeting took less than half an hour and immediately after the outcome of the meeting was announced the news was relayed to the captains of the special ops who further relayed the news to the rest of their unit.

Since it hadn't been long since the beasts attacked, they were given an hour to rest up before they moved out.

The squad of over 2000 ash corps seamlessly weaved through the trees and made their way to the mine. This was all thanks to the 4 demigods that slaughter beasts without them knowing how they died.

Since their path was clear and they had no reason to hide, the journey to the mine had taken less than 20 minutes even with their large numbers.

When they got to a considerable distance away from the mine, the army halted while the peak demigods flew over the mine before casting massive detection arrays.

They had to confirm the number of beasts underground and their power level before they could proceed with any of their plans.

In less than 5 minutes the arrays had gathered all the info they needed without being detected, and in a matter of seconds, they had returned to the army.

"There are little about 50 king rank beasts, with over 300 knight rank beasts below and above. As for the emperor rank beast, the beast detection array was unable to pick anything up. This means we are most likely dealing with a peak king rank or one close to evolution." Major Reeves warned.

The beast detection array wasn't dead-on accurate. Its job was to categorize the power level of beasts in the area into different ranks.

The problem with this was that no matter the tier or sub-rank of a rank of the beasts, they were all grouped together.

"Moving over to the plan, we are blowing the entire area up." Major Reeves announced, shocking everyone.

Unmined energy crystals were volatile and highly explosive because of the energy stored within them. So blowing the mine could cause a massive chain reaction that might blow up the entire mine.

'Are my ears playing tricks on me or are the higher-ups planning on blowing up a thranium mine?' Blake couldn't believe his ears.

The human race coveted the pink crystals because of their insane energy capacity and properties, but they couldn't get their hands on enough of them. So, it was crazy to hear them casually talk about blowing what they usually sacrificed lives to get."

Seeing the massive confusion Reeves had caused,  Briggs shook his head before speaking up.

"The mine is a dual-layered mine, so even if we are to blow the area up not much of the thranium mine will be destroyed by the explosion." Briggs announced, instantly silencing the murmurs.

'For the top layer of the mine to be a lower-tier energy crystal and still contribute to changing the mana density, it means it's a large one. So why are they still chill about blowing it up?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

[With the number of beasts in the area, dealing with them the normal way would be very difficult, especially with the number of forces present and the uncertainty of a peak King rank beast.]

[Also, you have to remember that the resources expended for the expansion are worth 10 times this mine. So, if this mission was to fail and the casualties are too much, the city would be in danger.] The system explained.

Since the special ops were already trained on what to do, they wasted no time springing into action.

Using mana constructs, more than 2000 humans moved high above the trees before surrounding the mine.

Once the signal was given all 200 special ops units began casting their team battle arrays. Before the beasts could realize what was going on, the sky had been blocked out by thousands of spells.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In an instant, the first volley of spells had flattened the forest, and 40% of the beasts at the top.

Many parts of the mine had collapsed further killing hundreds of beasts underground and turning them into mincemeat.

Once the first volley of spells had crashed into the ground, the king rank beasts underground immediately sprang up into action, but that was when the mine began collapsing and the crystals exploded.

Some were caught in the explosion and collapsed, but unfortunately, their insane vitality kept them alive long enough for the second volley of spells to crash into them and cause a larger chain reaction.

…

Back at the top.

Hundreds of beasts were caught in the explosions from the mine and although not all of them were killed, the second volley of spells had finished the job.

Due to the collapsed mine, the second volley of spells was able to make its way into the deeper layers of the mine.

Another round of explosions, thrice as large as the first rang out, turning the already leveled forest into a massive crater.
